Car is freaking out electrical wise. Every light on the dashboard blinks, it killed my phone battery, the clock and digital temp light blink on and off. The headlights are very dim, and electric windows are very slow. Thinking it just needs a new battery, but is there anything else that might be causing this?

It could be a bad alternator, battery, ground, or body control module.
